81 chapter 81
The second half of the season was expected by many to start again, but contrary to the expectations of the Meilinger, the first thing that broke out was the hidden danger that was not obvious before but was completely revealed after the small vacation.
In the second half of the season, Real Madrid started with one loss and one draw, and the players on the field did not seem to have detached themselves from the comfort of the holiday, and they looked particularly leisurely on the pitch. Capello replaced Higuain on the bench in the second half in order to adjust the atmosphere of the team, and the Argentine newcomer was full of desire to run in order to show his strength and be worthy of his transfer money. This sudden influx of clear water harvested the Meilinger who came to the away game, and Capello saw that the effect seemed to be very good, so he simply replaced Marcelo with Marcelo.
But if Capello's previous substitution was a stroke of genius for the champion coach, after Marcelo replaced Carlos, the originally solid backline suddenly became a hole. From scoring seven goals as a left-back in a season, it can be seen that he is also a player who likes to assist and even score goals, but when the team is not used to his style of play, it is a little difficult for everyone to cooperate with him. Although Carlos loses a lot of physical strength with age, experience can often make up for it, not to mention that Fran has long been familiar with this teammate. But new teammates during the winter break, or even newcomers who have not done opponent research, where will they have the time to run in?
After these two not ideal games, Barcelona in the same batch of games won two draws, so that the two teams still did not open the distance, and still controlled the distance that may be recovered in one game.
The better the results, the smoother the sailing, and the more problems with the results, the more big news will be made one after another. What's more, this is a team that is good at playing downwind and can play great games when the team has a good future, but correspondingly, this team likes to go for a more headwind situation when the team is headwind.
Based on the team's record, it seems that the atmosphere in the team is no longer as relaxed as usual under some turmoil, but if these are still in-stadium factors that can be controlled, the fans outside the stadium have something to say.
In fact, Real Madrid under Capello has always had a good record, but the reason why the Meilingers do not like the Italian coach very much in this situation is not because of xenophobia, but because they do not like the way Capello has always carried out. As we all know, Capello may not believe in 'defence first' as Forlan national team coach Lagerbeck, but he is still a representative of the importance of defense under the influence of Italy. It's good for the team to be able to attack and defend, but if Capello is given one of them, he must focus on defense. This is also the reason why this Real Madrid team has fewer losses than Barcelona but is behind in terms of points, with a lot of 0-0 draws, and although they may not be able to score, they must not concede a goal.
At least on paper, Real Madrid's forward line and goalkeeper are of course nothing to say, and the backline is slightly better than the midfield.
And in the face of the so-called 'style of play that fans don't like' in the report, Capello is not a person who will change himself because of being denied, and the reply of the iron-fisted coach is equally categorical, "So do you like the victory or the team you used to be?"
Until now, Real Madrid's points are indeed higher than those of the same period in the previous two seasons, which means that Real Madrid has actually improved just by looking at the wins and losses, even if it is still in second place in the league. Capello dared to throw out the tempting goal of 'victory' because he firmly believed that his team could still improve and fight for a league title.
It stands to reason that onlookers feel that Capello is not wrong, and it is a bit hypocritical for so many picky fans to make progress. But the argument held by the fans is a little strange but also has some truth, "Of course, there are many people who have cultivated their feelings for this team since childhood, and there are also people who Perez entered the football circle driven by the superstar policy at the beginning. But there are also a lot of people, including us, who like this team, Real Madrid, not because he has so many stars, but because he plays well. If I like the team I support is keen on defending, why don't I like Serie A Milan compared to the way these four don't look?"
They believe that Capello's Real Madrid team may really win in the future as he promised, but that 'unrecognizable' Real Madrid is not the one they once loved.
Some of the players in the team who only came from behind naturally took it for granted that the idea that the fans wanted both results and a good way to play was vexatious, but players like Raul Guti, who really grew up watching this Real Madrid game, could not refute the fans' views so firmly and directly. Sure, their views are too perfectionist and too extreme, but as Ramos and Forlan said at the time, 'it's not the Real Madrid team I saw when I was a kid'. No one can force everyone to be like Fran but just answer with their brains, 'It's different, but it's not different.'"
But at the end of the day, it's the backline, which Capello has decided to rely on, and the part where the media and fans are waiting to find fault. At the back, Forlan said it wasn't easy.
If before the winter break, Forlan led Robert Carlos, who did not want to renew his contract for another year, Salgado, who had almost the same injuries and attendance every season, Bravo and Messia, who knows if they could stay, and Sergio Ramos, who has received mixed reviews lately. With half a season of hard work, Carlos and Salgado, two veterans, have serious physical decline and the possibility of injury recurrence, as for the team management promised to be very reliable reinforcements, it is a completely unfit into the team's much-criticized Marcelo Júnior.
Maybe Brazilians are born with such a sunny character, at least the Brazilians who have met through Real Madrid have given Forlan this feeling, from Carlos, Ronaldo and even Ronaldinho next door, to Marcelo today. Marcelo has done a particularly good job of coming to Real Madrid, a giant team, and he has done a very good job compared to Higuain at the same time, and his cheerful personality can get along with people quickly. But it's just off the field, not on the field.
Basically, if the newcomer has a smooth run-in with the team, a home start is the best stage, and the Bernabeu has the most dazzling lights and the most fanatical fans who love you. And if it is integrated, the manager will give the second-half substitutes a chance to perform, and the good performance may get a starting opportunity for himself. But about Marcelo's performance... Perhaps a set of conversations on the forum could reflect something.
- As a striker, he has a good ability to push forward and is also actively involved in defense. Calderón made another good deal.
- LS watched the ball? How can Marcelo be considered a striker? Are you stupid?
It's obviously the front waist!
That's right, judging by Marcelo's performances as a substitute in a few games, you really can't just dismiss his performance entirely. The young Brazilian player's ability to advance with the ball and break through with the ball is extremely eye-catching, and he is nicknamed a striker and a striker, and even makes fans helpless and self-deprecating, making a good deal to transform the player. But often he can't come back if he rushes up, and if he doesn't rush up, he can't reflect the threat he was when he became famous in Bajia. Ramos plays central defender at least Forlan to form a double central defender partner, Marcelo receives the baton of Carlos' left wingback, one or two games are not suitable for the opponent will be regarded as a hole in the back line to break through, the pressure increases when the breakthrough is made, the defense is more difficult, and the failure under the difficulty causes the impression that the left side is good to break through, so it will be specially targeted and fall into a vicious circle.
But fans don't look at so many reasons, they only notice that the ball in their own box is leaking from the left side. As for Forlan, he has to lag behind to form the last line of defense before the goalkeeper when the opponent attacks, and he has to get to Guti's side from time to time under Capello's stubborn arrangement, sometimes Salgado is injured or red card suspended to Bravo on Forlan has to be vigilant, and then let him take care of the left side of the line is really close to covering the backfield, Forlan said that it sounds like a dream is not good, and it is as unrealistic as a dream to come true.
Fran could only praise Marcelo's optimism, or his excellent attitude, which seemed to be unsatisfactory despite public criticism. After all, Ramos is a native and the national team has the advantage of the title of defensive genius, so people will always have more responsibility when evaluating him, but Marcelo is different, as if the young man who is not yet twenty years old is hit and what the future holds has nothing to do with them.
This actually made Forlan see himself who had been criticized for his defensive style that was completely different from what people think of as a 'Real Madrid defender', or to a greater extent.
When Marcelo was once again used by Fabio Capello to replace Carlos, there were even boos in several corners of the stadium after a moment of silence. The boos started small, but they stirred up the bad factor in people's hearts, and it snowballed louder and louder. Marcelo, who had just warmed up and stepped on the pitch, seemed to have cooled his blood boiling at that moment, in addition to cowardice and a little dazed, not because of the opponent or because of the Bernabeu grass, but because of this group of fans.
Capello on the sidelines looked very bad, and Marcelo's performance so far was really sorry for his transfer fee, and was even said to be 'the biggest parallel commodity in this winter break', which made the group of people who claimed that Marcelo was just touted to be famous. But no matter how many times, even if you are not satisfied, there is absolutely no reason for your own family to boo your own family.
Fran snorted at the grass, although this meeting is not rare, but he has seen it once or twice, his previous teammates finally failed to withstand the pressure and left, but this time Fran walked quickly towards Marcelo with his head up in the next second. In the process, Ramos was also pushed back into position, and Guti, who was closer to Marcelo, seemed to be going to go over to have a look, but was pushed back to midfield by Forlan.
Francisco Alvarez has a perverted tolerance for Real Madrid, but this time, he is finally a little angry.
"This is my defender's little cub, I can cover it myself. ”
He thought, in fact, he also hoped that someone would be able to pull him like this. 166 Reading Network
